There's one you could call antagonist.. in a sense... I guess, Morisaki.
Mr. d-bag managed to rub me the wrong way every time I see him.

although I must say I'm glad I didn't see him showing his face in Yokohama

Yeah, Morisaki the d-bag. God I hate that guy. I was absolutely beaming when I heard he got knocked out of commission in the Monolith Competition. Tatsuya's victories would only further rub it in his face.

Edit: Btw, Morisaki the d-bag was knocked out of commission because he got hit from a magic induced- falling rubble from a building. What a fitting way to get knocked out of commission.

And Enigmatic might have already included this in his file, but this rough Google translate (done by Enigmatic) showed more of this novel's kick-ass glory.

Spoiler for Tatsuya handling the hostage situation in Web 3:

“Put your device on the floor and move away”

The intruder already seemed accustomed to combating enemy magicians.

They may have been fellow magicians as well

The intruders likely were soldiers, not just mastering weaponry or magic, but both.

The students of 3rd School on the stage, including Kichijouji, couldn't see a way out of it and had put their CADs on the floor.

Being reckless and being brave are two different things.

It seems 3rd School's students had been taught that.

Tatsuya saw that and was impressed.

By chance, the Shiba siblings had been seen.

“Hey, You as well”

The man approached, the muzzle of his gun pointed warily at the intruder.

There was no doubt in Tatsuya at what he should do.

(Not too far away...)

Tatsuya looked at the approaching intruders and thought to himself

“Hurry!”

The man was irritated at Tatsuya's lack of action.

To think he was safe because the opponents had put down their weapons, this man was lacking.

Tatsuya silently watched the man approaching.

No, it would be more appropriate to say he was observing the man.

His eyes held no fear or anxiety.

Everything from the gun to the way the man held his posture was being observed.

The man had become nervous, his finger starting to approach the trigger.

“Stop!”

His comrade's scream had not been heard.

Gunfire sounded in the air, followed by a scream.

A clear shot fired with murderous intent from 3 meters away was unavoidable.

Which is why everyone was so shocked.

His right hand grabbed something in the air before his chest.

Tatsuya had charged directly into the intruder.

Not a drop of blood flowed from his body.

The wall, the ceiling, the floor, not a single trace had been left that the gun had been fired.

A bullet hit the man's face, then another.

Every time, Tatsuya's hand changed position.

The movements were too fast, an observer would not have likely seen it.

That was when the intruder noticed Tatsuya's hand, as if it had gripped something.

“He caught the bullets...?”

Someone had muttered aloud.

“How the hell...?”

Someone else began to scream

“Monster!”

The man threw his gun out of panic

If Tatsuya had caught those bullets at point blank range, a gun would be useless.

The intruder, without losing his will to fight, grabbed for his combat knife and charged into Tatsuya.

Something else amazing happened, though

Tatsuya used one hand to stop the intruder's knife, and with the other, he curled his fingers to form the shape of a knife.

In the next moment, Tatsuya had cut off the man's arm with his bare hands.

“Gyaaa!!”

The man began screaming out in pain.

But before the man could continue, Tatsuya's left fist went deep into the pit of the man's stomach.

Tatsuya's body and right arm were covered in blood.

He was able to counter everything.

Without a single moment's hesitation, Tatsuya lightly jumped back to Miyuki's side.

Not a single spectator could believe what had happened.

Everyone had stopped moving, stopped thinking.

With the exception of one person.

“Onii-sama! Stop being so bloody!”

Except for Miyuki's soft voice in the corner, the room was silent.

There was no trace of surprise in her voice.

Even if you had dropped the “Stop being so bloody,” there was no sign of discomfort.

Her voice signaled the time which had stopped to resume.

“Everyone, Get down!”

The intruders were then hit with magic from both sides of the stage.

Although some tried to dodge, with the magic from the Nine Schools, the resistance had been sealed.

Reason: How Morisaki was knocked out

I read a bit more of the web novel (and no, none of this has been put into the summary) w/ google/excite (translator aggregator, actually), and found out more about Tatsuya's Material Burst.

Spoiler for Holy Beep!:

Essentially, what it is, is a decomposition of matter into energy. Following Einstein's law, E = mc^2, every bit of matter has a massive amount of energy stored within it.

What happens at the end of Arc 3 is that the war is ending, with the invading army retreating. When they're a long way away from the mainland, Kazama busts out the Third Eye CAD, a CAD that uses a surveillance camera in the stratosphere to send data to Tatsuya via a helmet and improve his accuracy. What Tatsuya does is use the Third Eye to pinpoint a water droplet, and using Material burst, he converts the approximately 50 mg of water into the energy they equate to approximately 1 kTon of TNT (I don't know if the conversion works out. Not going to bother).

Later on, in the last section of the arc, the 101st Squad is in a briefing with the people at an island fortress near the border facing China. They were alerted that the Chinese forces would be ready to move within 2 hours while the Japanese Naval Forces only began preparations the day before. Using the island as a base, they would use Tatsuya's Material Burst to destroy the enemy fleet. This time, using Third Eye, he aims at the battleship flag, which they believe is approximately 1 kilo. The destructive force of his magic results in the complete vaporization of all battleships, it causes the surface of the oceans near the port to boil, the flames caused by the destruction destroy neighboring cities, and the shockwave produced by the air reach across to other cities (military bases disguised as civilian cities), resulting in the destruction of those bases. It pretty much says there is no one alive who could describe what happened because, essentially because anyone who was near enough to possibly described was killed. The arc ends with Tatsuya pulling his mask off without a sign of agitation, followed by a small narration saying that day, called "Scorched Halloween" (it occurred on Halloween, after all), was a turning point in history.

Material Burst- as seen, it's like a nuclear bomb. For very obvious reasons, it's a military secret and off-limits in normal cases. Can only be used when authorized.

Demon Right- decomposes and destroys everything it touches. Sometimes dual wielded with Divine Left. Like Material Burst, it's an off-limits military secret. It can only be used when Tatsuya is alone or on special missions.

Divine Left- heals and regenerates anything within a 24 hour limit. Sometimes dual wielded with Demon Right. Technically a secret, but a selected few know of this ability.

Edit: I went back and read up Gram Demolition and Dispersion. Still not 100% sure with the details.

Gram Demolition- It demolishes the magic at the magi gram (script) level. Along with Gram Dispersion, it's considered the strongest non-systematic magic to counter other magic. It's also incredibly hard to use because no one has the energy and supply of magic to continuously fire it (Tatsuya's has a natural inexhaustible supply of magic). Outside of the energy and magic expenditure, it's only other real weakness is that it's mainly used in short distance.

Gram Dispersion- I've always been confused between this and demolition but it seems dispersion is the one that can forcefully sweep over and disperse any magic that is already fired. It's weaknesses are the same as Gram Demolition- hard to use, high energy expenditure, and short range.

Note: Even though these two are primarily used in short range, Tatsuya went into a shoot out from over a mile away with the Crimson Prince...

Cast Jamming- Creates an area that prevents magic activation.

Auto-regeneration when gravely injured.

A genius brain in CAD development.

The abilities above are all natural abilities. In case it isn't obvious, his natural magic abilities are divided into the two categories I've previously mentioned "disintegration" and "regeneration".

Ninjitsu is learned.

Instantaneous magic for basic and combat magic under 5 steps is granted by the processor.

Ability to read magic scripts is also supplied by the processor.

Reason: Gram Demolition and Gram Dispersion.

I believe Larethian dropped the project because he didn't feel like translating anything anymore. Even if he does ( I think he's still t/l'ing tenma usagi), this wouldn't be the series he'd want to translate. It's massively annoying with its magic descriptions.

Also, thanks for the explanation whsie

Spoiler for Badonkadonk!:

I was wondering what those Divine Left and Gram Destruction abilities were. I thought you posted it before (and you may have), but for some reason I couldn't find it.

I've previously explained his abilities before but I didn't tag on the names.

Oh yeah,

Spoiler for Divine Left:

it can't save a dying person. The person will live for 24 hours and then die (happened in Flashback Arc).

Tatsuya equal to Colonel Mustang with gazillion's Philosopher Stone in his arsenal (even without PS, he's quite scary).
In the Brotherhood, all Briggs Army,that fearless and cruel, turn pale, when they heard Mustang come to battle Father, since as long as there's air, Mustang with his finger flick, can scorch you to crisp. Heck! even Ishval burned in a second

His "regular" abilities already make him pretty terrifying to the rest of the cast, but the ability to cause matter to energy conversion is just....wow. Its no wonder they call him a demon. With that kind of power he could easily annihilate a country.

What I don't get is why he requires the third eye weapon to use it? I thought that CAD only provided sensory data by linking with a satellite? There should be no problem with using a weakened version of the same thing on a closer target. Though I guess if its just that level of destruction he can accomplish it with his regular disintegration and not bother with the shockwaves and such.

Spoiler for Response!:

I don't think he can really control that ability, per-se. It's not like you can halfway convert matter to energy. He annihilated the ship by converting what was believed to be approximately 50 milligrams of water into energy. It seems pretty hard to control it finely enough such that it doesn't cause such overwhelming destruction. Also, the CAD is there to help with his aim, just as you thought. He can't exactly use his ability close by because of its destructive capabilities.

Im thinking he's not the only person to use those abilities, is he?
Also if he or someone else were to use material blast would that kill him faster then his regeneration??

As far as I'm aware of,

Spoiler for answer:

he is the only one. While there are other magicians in the world who can use disintegration and regeneration since these are only considered basic magic, no one can use those abilities to the utmost extreme in the same manner Tatsuya can. Despite the classification, his abilities with them are so extreme and unique that for all intents and purposes, Tatsuya's "disintegration" and "regeneration" is the one and only in the world.

In Miyuki's case, her spirit freeze is considered an A class natural ability and as rare as it is, there are a few in the world that have her ability. The same can't be said for Tatsuya.

That said, I wouldn't be surprised if there are other abilities that rival Material Burst (the abilities wielded by other War Class Magicians). It's just that I'm fairly sure that Tatsuya is the only with the Material Burst. For example, the only other War Class Magician/Apostle in Japan has a completely different ability that can only be used over the water (rough translation: Deep Abyss?).

in whole japan is only tatsuya that war level magician?
is there any other war level magician on 9 school except tatsuya?
can you give detail about 12 war level magician that get recognice by world,their name,country anything that you all information have?please!

Spoiler for hm...:

I just mentioned it in the post above you, but in Japan, there are only two war-level magicians. One is Tatsuya and the other is this wheelchair handicapped girl from the "Five" family. That's it. The difference between the two is that the girl is officially recognized as one of the now 12 war level magicians/apostles while Tatsuya is one of the ~40 unregistered war-level magician.

No silly, not everyone can become a war level magician. In addition to having a very unique natural ability, you also have to an magic attack on a grand scale (e.g. Material Burst or Deep Abyss by the handicapped girl).

Even someone as talented as Miyuki or the Crimson Prince are only classified as a Combat-level magician. They both have A level magic- Miyuki with Inferno and the Crimson Prince with Explosion- yet neither of their abilities are unique nor grand enough in scope to be classified as war-level.

Regarding War level magicians, I've only heard of the Chinese Apostle who died in the Yokohoma Wars, Tatsuya himself, that girl from the "Five" family, and Lina from the USA/Canada army. There's still a lot of hidden war-level magicians in this story.
